    I can't speak for all areas or countries, but from what I observe in Mexico and a few other countries (setting aside the personal choice do drugs or not), most of the violence occurs between the drug lord factions, not civilians and tourists. My position is similar to Occam's Banana in Post #753.

    Some minor delays, but not the End of America the World as Biden would have you believe . GM, Ford will reroute Baltimore shipments after bridge collapse "There are a lot of other areas that can pick up the slack like the New York Harbor and all the way down to Savannah, Georgia", he said in an email. "It will take a while for the situation to resolve and to begin operating normally again, so definitely there will be delays in deliveries of goods."

    Yeah, stuff like that, I don't pay attention to. I see your point though; discerning libertarians/anarchists see past all of that and cut right to the matter, but others, not so much, which can pollute the mind.

    Reason has very valid and concerning points. The important thing is, though Javier is doing a great job so far , one should never rely or count on a leader no matter how well intentioned. Hopefully Javier provided a kickstart and the people will keep the momentum going with or without him. Keep the conversations going, never let your guard down, and hold them accountable.

    Ron Paul Institute by James Bovard Mar 28, 2024 Last December, one of the most intrusive provisions in the federal statute book was set to expire. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authorizes the National Security Agency to vacuum up trillions of emails and other data. A bevy of bipartisan members of Congress called for radically curtailing those nullifications of Americans’ privacy.

    By Jacob G. Hornberger The Future of Freedom Foundation March 28, 2024 By now, I’m sure that most Americans have their own personal stories about TSA abuse. The U.S. government’s takeover of airport security after the 9/11 attacks has made flying an unpleasant experience. This past weekend, I was flying back to Virginia. A TSA agent took my carry-on suitcase aside and opened it up. She then pulled out a container of talcum powder. She spent around 5 minutes intensely examining it and then testing it. Up to that point, it was simply a matter relating to the talcum powder. No agent was hassling me ,and I was just waiting for the testing of the talcum powder to be completed. I nonchalantly and innocently said to her, “So, I’m curious as to whether it’s bad to bring talcum powder with me.” Well, that was obviously a wrong thing to say. I think you’re expected to keep your mouth shut and not question anything they do.

    The Empire Slowly Suffocates Assange Like It Slowly Suffocates All Its Enemies By Caitlin Johnstone CaitlinJohnstone.com March 28, 2024 The British High Court has ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may potentially get a final appeal against extradition to the United States, but only within a very limited scope and only if specific conditions are met. The court ruled that Assange may appeal only on the grounds that his freedom of speech might be restricted in the US, and that there is a possibility he could receive the death penalty. If the US provides “assurances” that neither of these things will happen, then the trial moves to another phase where Assange’s legal team may debate the merits of those assurances. If the US does not provide those assurances, then the limited appeal will move forward.

    By Gary D. Barnett March 27, 2024 “Still another of the frauds of these men is, that they are now establishing, and that the war was designed to establish, “a government of consent.” The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this—that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot. This idea was the dominant one on which the war was carried on; and it is the dominant one, now that we have got what is called “peace.” ~ Lysander Spooner, No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority To believe or support any document that is claimed to be a contract agreed upon by all, and in perpetuity, without a single signature by any held to its decrees, represented by only a few criminal rulers, ‘interpreted’ by only nine appointed criminal ‘supreme’ court judges, and enforced at the point of a gun, is not only ignorant, arrogant, and asinine, it is completely insane. But in this nation-state 235 years ago, a few rich mercantilists and corrupt politicians falsely referred to as the ‘founders,’ in the dark of night, behind locked and closed doors, in total secrecy, drafted what is referred to as ‘The Constitution,’ and claimed it bound every single individual in the country, and would be binding on every single individual born thereafter. What nonsense is this?

    My reference was in regard to what Biden said during his speech: "I told them we’re going to send all the federal resources they need as we respond to this emergency, and I mean all the federal resources. And we’re going to rebuild that port together." We should not be incurring the cost of what the company(ies) involved should be responsible for. I see Biden's move as another toward fascism. The square mile remark was meant as: damn that's another big one!

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Madison320 again. You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to acptulsa again. Those are the interventionists, like the ones who promote a globalists order, North American Union , invade other countries because "if America can't compete it will conquer", etc. I travel to Mexico often and can say that people for the most part are happy and laid back yet hard workers. Products are cheaper there, and often you will find stores that give free tequila for you to walk in the door at which point you can barter price further. "Concerned" people criticize them, complain about their wages and judge their lifestyle, which leads to more interventionism and eventually higher costs. Every country has poor and wealthy, bad and good areas just like here in the states. But it should be up to the people in those countries to worry about, not us. We can benefit by the cheaper prices, while they benefit by the profits when we buy. It sure beats war, or banning, which would cause our prices to soar while cutting off their means of profit and survive. If American's were so truly concerned about "independence", they would simply demand more "economic freedom zones", lower regulatory and tax rates, build and compete, which would bring prices back down here in the states. It "may not be as simple as that", but that's what needs to be done. Anti Federalist : the company involved should be liable for rebuilding that, or set up an alternate port, not the federal government/tax payers.

    Joe Biden 2021 – present: $6.32 trillion - 6.33% (less than 1 term) Donald Trump 2017 – 2021: $8.2 TRILLION (40.43% in 1 single term) Barack Obama 2009 – 2017: $8.34 trillion (69.98% 2 full terms) RE: The Presidential Pen I wonder, if Biden is able to exceed Trump's debt, will Biden be allowed to "win" the upcoming election. If not, they will definitely need Trump back in office, to show them how it's done. It's all about raking it in, isn't it?

    Navigating the Slippery Slope: How Hoover's Interventions Paved the Way for the Great Depression Mises Wire Vibhu Vikramaditya 03/26/2024 Herbert Hoover's presidency is often mythically mischaracterized as a period of strict nonintervention in the economy. However, it was in fact defined by a series of economic maneuvers that not only deviated from laissez-faire ideology, but also significantly contributed to the onset of the Great Depression. He initiated his term in 1929 with a proactive push by establishing the Federal Farm Board and later the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. These testified to his interventionist approach, aimed at countering economic instability with federal support that ranged from agricultural price supports to protective tariffs and substantial public works investments. These policies failed to grasp the underlying economic frailties that, combined with a long recession in overexpanded agriculture, inadvertently magnified the crisis. .

    Can noncitizens vote in U.S. elections? 2022 Federal law bans noncitizens from voting in federal elections, including races for president, vice president, Senate or House of Representatives. The 1996 law states that noncitizens who vote illegally will face a fine, imprisonment or both. Noncitizens who cast a ballot and get caught may also face deportation. When people in the U.S. register to vote, they confirm under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens. Several states also verify that registration against federal and state databases.
